French terry is a type of fabric used in clothing, ranging from items such as hoodies, pants, and even shirts. It is a versatile knit fabric with soft loops on the inside and a smooth surface on the outside. The inside of the fabric is crossed with loops, while the outer part is smooth and flat. French terry can be made from a variety of fibers, sometimes with spandex (also known as elastane or lycra), and is often warp-knitted. It is considered a midweight fabric, which means that it is heavier than the cotton youd find in an average t-shirt, but lighter than fabrics that would be used to make sweatpants designed for cold weather use. French terry is a highly versatile fabric that can be worn in many different situations, and it is commonly used in casual clothing like sweatpants, hoodies, pullovers, and even shorts. It is also a popular fabric for loungewear and activewear. French terry is easy to maintain and can be laundered in a regular washing machine.
